Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 2.0 SRi (140ps) 5d (99) (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Seems to depreciate rapidly.
Costs
Company car, so I'm not affected by this too much, but it uses less petrol than a 2.0 Mondeo.

On the road
Driving
Why can't it put a grin on my face like the Cavalier SRi used to? Even my old Rover 420GSI gave me more satisfaction than the Vectra!
Performance
Same as before - it's just using the SRi badge to boost sales. Be nice to actually have some 'sporty' performance.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down, and I do thrash it…
Image
Looks the part, then people realise it's a Vectra!
Comfort
Each to their own I guess, but I prefer the harder seats and stiffer suspension.
